Bee happy .... red and white spot shelves now in use

My red and white spot shelves now have a purpose.

 

 

They are in the guest bedroom displaying pretty wares.

 

I also want to share with you my newly covered lamp shade.

 

It is a Laura Ashley base and shade but I got fed up of the pink shade so decided to re-cover it with fabric to match the guest bedroom.

 

I chose Cath Kidston red and white star fabric for the re-covering job.

 

I got out my trusty glue gun and just glued the star fabric over the shade after cutting the fabric to size.

 

I am really pleased with the transformation and the lamp looks so much better for a change.

 

Have you changed anything lately?

Bee happy ..... make a notice board

I have been busy making a notice board this weekend.

 

I had a wooden frame left from the kitchen fitters when they put our kitchen together.

 

I sprayed it with white paint.

 

 

I then with the help of Mr Happy cut some chicken wire to size and stapled this to the back of the frame. As the wire was from a roll 4 hands were great as the roll kept curling back up until cut to size.

 

Because the cut ends were really sharp I then used my glue gun and stuck down some thick felt over these to cover them up.

 

My new notice board is ready.

 

I can use it both ways and if I want to hang it on the wall I will just use some ribbon tied around the frame.

 

 

Hope you like my new notice board.

 

All of the hearts are available to buy in my shop.

Bee happy ..... give a basket a good home

Out and about a little while ago we spotted a wire shopping basket dumped at the side of the road.

I decided I wanted it and gave it a good home.

It has been sat in the garage for a while but inspiration struck yesterday!

I got out my white spray paint and sprayed the basket to make it cleaner and prettier.

I then got out my trusty glue gun as I wanted to wrap the handles with pretty ribbon.

I used the glue to secure the ribbon so it didn't unravel when it was being carried.

All finished and with only one hurty on my thumb where the hot glue burnt me :(

Lots of uses for my lovely new basket.
